I mean the Philippines is a tropical country and there are just 2 seasons here plus all the countries I’ve been too are also tropical countries. LOL. It’s either hot or super hot. Yup, that’s a joke but you get the point. It’s currently January and it should be the coldest month in the Philippines but it feels like summer. Ugh. I can only imagine how hot it will be in the upcoming summer season.

It’s also winter when I went to Japan so I was expecting to really see snow. Unfortunately, it doesn’t snow on my tita’s place. I’m so naive to think that just because it’s winter, it snows. It doesn’t work that way. My tita and tito Takeshi were so excited I’m going to Japan they really pulled out all the stops to make my stay worthwhile and this includes bringing me to a place where I can see legit snow! Well it’s partly real and partly fake snow so it counts as my first encounter with snow, right? hmmm… right. :) Tell me otherwise. haha!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-n7Oz4Q_NAQU\/Xg8ucAClmNI\/AAAAAAAAgk8\/ulwXeAZDeaYSXwca_dli0ixehAJrBMZNACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B5.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-n7Oz4Q_NAQU\/Xg8ucAClmNI\/AAAAAAAAgk8\/ulwXeAZDeaYSXwca_dli0ixehAJrBMZNACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B5.JPG\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-vhEgKm0RcF0\/Xg8uVhHQxqI\/AAAAAAAAgkk\/QbnkN-f-YjUgXxB_LUry2i1uA453_GX_ACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B12.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-vhEgKm0RcF0\/Xg8uVhHQxqI\/AAAAAAAAgkk\/QbnkN-f-YjUgXxB_LUry2i1uA453_GX_ACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B12.JPG\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-6qgn7xG3-E4\/Xg8uYYX5UPI\/AAAAAAAAgkk\/nGcP-eBc--Emo3Fyue3qH_CHwsG36BziACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B2.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-6qgn7xG3-E4\/Xg8uYYX5UPI\/AAAAAAAAgkk\/nGcP-eBc--Emo3Fyue3qH_CHwsG36BziACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/Rokko%2BSnow%2BPark%2B2.JPG\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Ch4\u003E\nRokko Snow Park\u003C\/h4\u003E\nThe plan was to wake up at around 8 and leave by 9am to go to Rokko Snow Park in Kobe.

I managed to sing First Love by Utada Hikaru in Nihonggo when the English version that was selected turned out to be a different song.
